How to secure the right role?
If you work in Cyber Security, Artificial Intelligence, or Data Analytics, the headlines can be misleading. You’re told demand is sky-high. Salaries are growing. Opportunities are everywhere.
But if you’re actively job hunting, you know the reality:
More competition. Slower hiring. Higher standards.
The right job isn’t just about your CV — it’s about how you navigate the market, and who’s representing you.
Sector Snapshot: UK Cyber, AI & Data in 2025
The Market is Cooling – But Competition is Heating Up
Cyber security job postings dropped 16.9% year-on-year by mid‑2025, while applicant volume increased 21% (cyberseek.uk).
AI job growth continues at 4.3% annually, but roles are consolidating, with companies expecting multi-disciplinary skills (e.g. ML + DevOps + cloud) (compTIA.org).
Data Analyst roles saw a 12% drop in junior-level demand, with most UK companies focusing on mid-to-senior hires with cross-functional experience (FT.com).
💼 Oversupply of Talent at Graduate & Mid-Level
In AI and data fields, 140+ candidates per role is now standard at mid-level.
Roles are taking 40% longer to fill, as employers demand not just technical skills, but cultural alignment, ethical awareness, and commercial impact.
“Candidates with narrow technical focus are struggling. Employers want broad capability, stakeholder confidence, and business fluency.” — UK Cyber Workforce Survey 2025
What This Means for You
Even if you’re highly skilled, your next move depends on strategy. Here’s what separates top candidates from the noise:
Tailored representation from a recruiter who understands your niche
Smart positioning of your value beyond just technical tools
Access to unadvertised or headhunted roles, especially in confidential or project-based hiring
Support navigating multi-stage, high-stakes hiring processes
And that only happens when you’re working with the right agency.
